It's an especially good week for Wonder Woman too as the second week total means it's held up better than previous DC films Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad before it.

While Wonder Woman saw a 45% drop in takings between weeks, both of those films suffered a 67% drop between their first and second week takings, with BvS making $51.3 million in week two and Squad making $43.5 million.

"It's an extraordinary hold for an extraordinary film," Jeff Goldstein, the distribution chief at Warner Bros, told Variety. "When you open up at this high level, to have only a 45% drop, you just don't see it.

"This was so far outside of whatever norms we could find. There's something unique about this character, and there's something special about the movie Patty Jenkins made."
